obama, which is it? >> speaking of of the obama administration, david axelrod wrote "as the republicans parties and super pacs try to depict this narrow, freeloader penalty that would touch less than 1% of americans as a broad tax on the middle class they are sliming their own nominee. >> clearly the people in chicago leapt on this as fast as they could. they love the idea there's a discrepancy between the republicans party and what they're say. as dan said, it was a complicated campaign, the white house thinks it was a good day for them, even if the subject was about obamacare. i think the question is whether voters' minds will be changed whether it was a tax or a penalty. all the polling since the supreme court's voting suggests minds have not changed very much on the actual health care act and i find it hard to believe that people are going to be passing that much, oh, okay, now i don't like the health care act because there's a tax involved in it. those people didn't like the health care act anyway.
